After AOA.

I am a huge fan of Emma Frost, and even I have to admit, Claremont wrote one hell of a great evil White Queen.

I stop reading the Phoenix Saga when the Hellfire section was resolved. I've read the entire Saga all the way through, but on every subsequent reading I stop after the Hellfire Club is defeated.

>>93121823 answered your question perfectly.

Stop reading when they get bad.

How did you find the Proteus arc?

This

Personally I stopped in 1992.

>>93121783
I think I went to 250 or so.
Cockrum is my favorite x-artists. Brood saga is one of my favorite superhero stories of all time.
Pretty good stuff for binge reading. Imo.

>When do the comics get bad?
Like other people said that's up to you.

Personally I jump ship once Onslaught becomes a thing.

This. AoA itself wasn't bad at all, but the X-books took a nosedive in quality afterwards.

I stuck around after that, but dropped them entirely around the Twelve. I've only sporadically dabbled since then.

Personally I think it heads downhill after Mutant Massacre, with 213 being a nice jumping off point. The second Brood and first Genosha arcs are great though. Inferno is a clusterfuck and everything after is a miss for me. I'd also recommend reading New Mutants in parallel from issues 14 to 46ish.
